Shuaisheng Xu (徐帅胜)

2×2 · top 7.0% of 186,767 all-time · competing since February 2018 · 2018XUSH01

Shuaisheng Xu (徐帅胜) has been competing for 9 years. His best event is the 2×2: a personal-best single of 2.29, set at China Championship 2019, puts him in the top 7.0% of the 186,767 people who have ever been ranked in the event, and 988th in China. Until February 2008, no official 2×2 solve in the world had been that fast. Across 8 competitions since February 2018, he has put 245 official solves on the record across six events. Solve to solve, his 3×3 times vary about 12% around a typical one, steadier than 76% of the 35,811 competitors with ten or more counted rounds. That figure sets aside his 4 DNFs. His 3×3 best has come down from 25.00 in February 2018 to 10.99, a 56% improvement. Shuaisheng has entered eight competitions, more competitions than 90% of everyone who has ever competed.

The story so far

Competitions

Reading this page: a single is one solve's time · an average is the middle three of five solves, best and worst discarded · a PB is a personal best · a DNF (did not finish) is an attempt with no valid result: a popped piece, an unsolved face, an over-limit memorisation · top X% compares against everyone ever ranked in that event, which is fairer than raw rank because event pools differ tenfold.
